At Bede’s World we believe that we never stop learning, and that everyone should have access to our programmes, collections and exhibitions.

Bede’s World’s award winning Outreach Team offer a range of sessions for young and old alike, and have vast experience of working with an extensive range of groups in a variety of innovative and creative ways.

Having worked with over 5000 young people and community groups, our Outreach Team are able to design, develop and support workshops and projects. We are regularly involved with youth projects and many community, social and special interest groups who are interested in deepening their understanding of the Anglo-Saxon period and traditional heritage skills.

Projects and workshops are varied and wide in their range. We encourage your ideas, and offer Bede’s World as an inspirational resource.

Past projects and workshops have included:

• Youth groups
• Duke of Edinburgh
• Extended Schools
• Isolated older people
• Young people at risk of offending
• Young carers
• Women’s groups
• Local history groups
• Healthy living and walking groups
• Sheltered and residential homes for both young and old.

Please contact Pearl or a member of the team to talk through your ideas on 0191 4892106 or email youth@bedesworld.co.uk
